A girl from high school tried friending me on facebook today. I knew she got married right after high school to a guy named Kevin or something similar I think. She cheated constantly and he figured she'd stop if he married her. She kept on cheating and got pregnant by a guy named Bradley (middlename) Keith, told the husband it was his, and named the poor kid Bradly Keith (lastname). Misspelling it, and telling the husband it was just a cool name she liked. They divorced after he caught her with some other guy. Not sure if he ever found out the reason for that name, or that the kid isn't his. Now apparently 5 years later she just had a daughter. Named Jezabel. And the kids now wear nothing but ICP clothes, as the mom has gained about 100 pounds and become a juggalette since the last time I saw her. Those poor unfortunate kids... Another girl just had a daughter and supposedly named her after her grandma Jean. The kid's name? "PersephoneJeane". Can't remember it, but the middle name isn't any better. I also know kids named Falicittie, Tyranny, Paityn, Haylyn, Hadley, Sedley, and McKaylynn (all girls). And Eatthon, Kalebb, Brockk, Braedyn, Zayar, Ezekyale, Jacup, Jaxyn and Calup (boys). And one unfortunate little boy whose mom "invented" his name. Not sure how it's spelled, but it's pronounced ig-ZAY-de-an. I hate living in rural Michigan

Calling a kid "Gaius" is tantamount to child abuse. I can just see some bro sitting there and staring at his girlfriend's ultrasound. "Huh huh huh, that baby looks like a fag. Let's name him GAIUS." EDIT: I know, I know, "guy-us" but still.

That's pretty much the equivalent of naming your child "shithead" and then going "nuh-uh, it's pronounced shi-theed!!" to the doctors trying to take them away from you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Marius Gaius Marius[1] (/ˈɡeɪəs ˈmɛəriəs, ˈmær-/; 157 BC – January 13, 86 BC) was a Roman general and statesman. He held the office of consul an unprecedented seven times during his career. He was also noted for his important reforms of Roman armies, authorizing recruitment of landless citizens, eliminating the manipular military formations, and reorganizing the structure of the legions into separate cohorts. Marius defeated the invading Germanic tribes (the Teutones, Ambrones, and the Cimbri), for which he was called "the third founder of Rome."[2] His life and career were significant in Rome's transformation from Republic to Empire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_%28praenomen%29 Also Emperor Augustus. gently caress the haters.
